ON Saturday, February 7th, 166 elegant guests gathered at Killeen Castle for The Tara Harriers’ Celebratory Hunt Ball and were welcomed by Masters Eugene O’Reilly, Bryan Maher, Larry Cunningham, John Moran, Lorraine McDowell and Henry Smith. A Silks Gin drinks reception was enjoyed whilst pianist Alex Sheridan played the grand piano.

After a thoughtful welcome address by Chairman and Master Eugene O’Reilly; MC for the evening and racing personality David Jennings, kept proceedings upbeat with giveaways to delighted guests from Tipperary Crystal and one lucky guest walked away with a beautiful Stirrup necklace, sponsored by George Bryan Jewellers. A delicious four-course menu followed, as prepared by Killeen Castle’s Head Chef, Declan Cronin. Throughout the evening, action shots of the season so far rolled on screens, as captured by Alicia Carberry of ARC Photography, who was also on hand to capture the event.
